Friendly competition wanted

I'm studying for the LSAT and am looking for individuals who may, like myself, be looking for some extra motivation for studying/testing. Some friendly competition never hurt anyone and I think it will in fact be able to light a fire under some people. So, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to participate.

The idea is that each weekend each participant submit a score they get from taking a practice LSAT. This goes from this weekend until the weekend of November 29th. You can take your test at any time during the weekend under regular LSAT time restrictions. There are no losers, since to improve on the LSAT is a win in itself, however there will be 2 "winners":

1) The person with the highest overall timed score.2) The person with the greatest increase in score between two consecutive tests.

I think this is a very cool idea. I am just starting to study in prep of taking the LSAT next year. I will surely be in the running for the most improved since I haven't even taken my first test yet. Are there requirements on the test? Can it be from a powerscore or kaplan book or does it need to be past official tests?

Sounds like a great idea to me. I won't be able to participate this week, but perhaps next weekend. I need to get an LSAT review book. I went with the Princeton Review for my ACT prep back in the day. Anyone have any experience with the Princeton Review's LSAT prep book? Is it a good place to start?

Also wondering what source we will look to for our "official" practice tests!

You would probably be better off starting with the Powerscore Bibles and going from there.

If you're talking about Princeton Review's "LSAT Workout," no, I wouldn't start there. Don't get that one unless you're consistently hitting above 165. If you are hitting above 165, I highly recommend it for games and RC.

If you're talking about Princeton Review's Hyperlearning books (that come with the course), they're great but won't do you much good without actually taking the course (which I do recommend, as long as you make sure the instructor is good--do your homework!).

If you're going to take a class or get a tutor, don't buy any official preptests--they'll be provided for you. If you're self-studying, buy all of them, including the SuperPrep, from Amazon or your local bookstore.
